So I spent my birthday money on a home brewing kit (thanks grandma!) so I can turn my vice into a viable hobby. With a little help from my friends, I spent last Thursday brewing my first batch, an Extra Pale Ale (Sierra Nevada clone). With any luck, I'll end up with 60 delicious Sierra's in my fridge...worst case scenario I can trade them for decent beers.
The batch is currently sitting in the guest bathroom's bathtub (in a fermenter, not just the bathtub), and is bubbling away. There's a slight aroma of beer in the bathroom (or not so slight if you ask Rachel). It should be ready for consumption in about 6 weeks, which just so happens to coincide with the conclusion of my summer school class.
